LWS Fabry Perot spectrum of the HF J=2-1 line toward Sgr B2.
During the observation the ISO LWS beam had a FWHM diameter of 70". The flux has been normalised
relative to the continuum flux of 4.8 x 104Jy. The LSR velocity
plotted on the horizontal axis applies to the HF J=2-1 line at
121.6973 microns (D. Neufeld).
